Las Vegas— ZamRay has introduced a website that will connect the construction industry in a variety of ways, allowing contractors to place their surplus inventory into a construction-only, online, proprietary classified advertising marketplace. The site is meant to open up surplus materials to thousands of prospective buyers across the United States.

Previously, general and specialty contractors’ options were to try returning inventory to the supplier, with limited success, or finding someone in the secondary market through their own connections.

ZamRay also allows companies to buy and sell construction equipment, vehicles and real estate; allows companies and individuals to post resumes or jobs, join the service directory for future project bid opportunities and obtain access to industry-related articles; and is free for guests.

Classified advertisements for materials, vehicles or jobs are $25 each. Should a buyer and seller come to terms on materials and agree to shipping and pricing, there is no other investment. If the buyer and seller want more protection, the transaction can take place through ZamRay’s escrow partner, Escrow.com, where the seller pays a small percentage of the cost of goods sold.
